http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/ Serving Riverhead Since 1857 en-us http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_BASEBALL_BL PECONIC--The hometown hero stole the show. The Hampton Whalers were officially the home team, but the Sound Bay Battlecats and their starting pitcher, Bret Moyer, clearly had the hearts of many of the several hundred fans who turned out for the showcase game between the two summer league baseball teams composed of college players. Moyer, whose trademark high leg kick brings his left knee to within inches of his head, made his first pitching performance on the North Fork in four years a memorable one. The right-hander pitched seven scoreless innings before being relieved in the Battlecats' 11-1 win at Jean W. Cochran Park on Friday night. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_TRIATHLON_CA Fred Carter is raring to go. A year ago, Carter, a 2008 graduate of Mattituck High School, qualified for the Xterra USA National Championships in Lake Tahoe, Nev. In his first year competing in triathlons, Carter had finished in the top three in four of the five events he had taken part in. He was in great shape and all set to go to the national championships last October when he got injured the week before the competition while playing soccer. He took a shoulder to his mouth, chipping a tooth and injuring his own shoulder. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_GMSL_CA It was just the sort of wake-up call they needed. When Marcello Masonry lost a pair of games early in the Greenport Men's Softball League season, the unusual results sent shock waves not only through the league, but through the team itself. Those losses were a rude awakening. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T72408_NFWSL_CA Sometimes all it takes is one good inning. Fogarty Air Conditioning erupted for 15 first-inning runs and went on to defeat Jason's Vineyard, 18-3, last Thursday night in the North Fork Women's Softball League at the Polo Grounds in Greenport. The game was stopped by the mercy rule after four and a half innings. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_AUTO_BL RIVERHEAD--Overcoming an early-race skirmish, Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J., made a thrilling pass for the lead with five laps to go before winning the fourth annual Baldwin, Evans & Jarzombek 77 Memorial on Saturday night at Riverhead Raceway. Chuck Steuer was leading the race and looking as if he would win the event for the second year in a row when he suffered a flat tire, forcing him to the pit area during a caution flag with just six laps to go. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_BASEBALLBOX_BL The Moyer line Bret Moyer's pitching line for the Sound Bay Battlecats in their 11-1 win over the Hampton Whalers on Friday night.

The Hitmen (15-1) took the first game, 7-4, as Matt Izzo belted his fourth home run of the summer. Izzo had three hits, as did teammate Joe Miranda. Huntington won the second game, 5-2. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T072408_FISHING_MG Charlie Caraftis at the Mattituck Fishing Station and Marina on Mattituck Inlet said that scup fishing was still very good with some 2 1/2-pounders in the mix. The porgies seem to have moved into deeper water and you have to pick through smaller ones to get the jumbos, but there are occasional sea bass as well. Fluke sizes are smaller in the last couple of days, but the striper fishing remains good on daytime tides around Hortons Point whenever the boat traffic is thin. Bunker chunks can produce some big bass well over 30 pounds, but other fish take these baits, too. The best fluke weighed at the station this year, in fact, was an 11-pounder taken serendipitously on a chunk.
